If you’re looking to get away but not stray too far from home this summer, then
WTVP and traveler Jim Barnett have some great ideas for you! Jim has a new travel show that will
be visiting locations all across the country, but these early episodes are close to home.

You’ll be amazed and delighted with Jim’s forays to Saugatuck and Traverse City,
MI, South Bend, IN and Gulf Shore and Orange Beach, AL. The locales are beautiful and appealing
and the people and places Jim uncovers will make you want to jump in the car and be on your away!

The series will air Saturdays at 6:30 p.m., and each half-hour episodes will encore
on Fridays at 10:00 p.m.

The first road trip on Saturday, May 25 at 6:30 p.m. will take us to Traverse
City, MI, where Jim will visit the annual Cherry Festival, learn the secrets of growing the best
cherries, sample a few tasty treats and then head off to explore some of the beautiful countryside
in and around Grand Traverse Bay.
